I don't think Nadine Dorries would know when football matches are traditionally played. 

Nadine Dorries doesn't know when breakfast traditionally is, only that it involves vodka

He's been playing in a different league to the PL. There is nothing to say his attributes can't be used in different ways. Look at Bruno. A DM/CDM through and through, but I want to use him in a more advanced role because I think his attributes are beneficial to the way I want us to play in the PL.

 

FYP

 

I think the fact he's played exclusively as a central striker in 4 different countries & national team indicates that he's best playing as a striker.

Wanting him to play as a winger is as absurd as the occasional calls for Schar to play DM just because he can pass the ball.

If he ends up stinking the place up as a striker then sure, give him a try somewhere else. In that event I guess we can always hope that he's a new Joelinton, but I doubt we'll get that lucky again for a long long time.

We don't really play with "wingers" though. Not in the traditional sense.

 

If he was to play on the right, he'd be lining up either between the LCB and LB (vs back four) or against the LCB (vs back three). If you compare heat maps, you'll see that Trippier occupies the classic right-winger space, Almiron is more central.

Structure’s more important off the ball than it is on it, when on the ball it’s more about patterns of play, although obviously you cannot just do whatever or you’ll get fucked on the break.

 

Defensively he would occupy one of the wide spots but when we’re in possession he would have freedom to be wherever he’s going to be most dangerous.

 

Not saying that is how Edward will set us up but it seems plausible when Wilson is fit.

What’s with the 6:45 cut off? Surely we could make him as a sub or even in the first 11 and if the clearance doesn’t come in we simply lose a sub?

I imagine when the first 11 and subs are named at 6.45 they need to be officially registered with the club

Nah. I want him in the DM position with a specialised AM in the advanced position.

How many times do I have to say I don't want him playing as a winger? Jesus christ. It's his starting position, I want him operating in the box.

He’s not playing as a 10 either. 
 

And as you may have learnt. I do not rate Almiron’s attacking highly at all. 

Oh ffs. Sorry. "Our third midfielder, who is most responsible for getting into similar positions to what a ten might," seemed a bit long winded for an adult forum.

I don't know. I only read the post you quoted me on which certainly indicated that was what you wanted.
